Dedicated E-Readers Will Be Dead in a Year, If Not Sooner
Amazon and Barnes & Noble may have started a price war, but it's 
pointless: Dedicated e-readers will be dead within a year.

Barnes & Noble just launched a new Wi-Fi only version of the Nook for $149 
and cut the price of the original, with both Wi-Fi and 3G from $259 to 
$199. Whoops! And, what's this? I no sooner finish this blog and Amazon 
drops the bottom-line Kindle's price to $189. That's great, right? Wrong. 
It's actually just postponing the end of all dedicated e-readers.


As it happens, I like e-readers in general. And, I like the Nook and 
Amazon's Kindle. So why am I unimpressed by this price-cut? I'm unmoved 
because I don't think there's a chance in heck that dedicated e-reader 
devices will still be around, except as vastly discounted electronic toys 
by 2011's holiday season.


My reasoning is quite simple. Everything a Nook or a Kindle can do an 
Apple iPad can do better. And, what's far more important, an iPad can do 
far, far more.

Since the iPads introduction earlier this year, it has quickly become one 
of the most popular platforms for reading eBooks, simply due to the 
variety of content providers which have provided applications for the 
device.


However, the average iPad user may not be aware of features or limitations 
in the various e-Reader apps available on the App Store, so Im going to 
try to boil this down so that you can make the appropriate choices which 
best fit your reading lifestyle.
